The column began to slowly press on, Sjorging could taste the omnipresent threat of orcs. Uther gave the command to halt. Soon orc cries and howls were heard and could be seen sprawling out of the bushes in a mass of numbers. "Brace yourselves!" yelled Sjorging to Gelding and Beluf. The center began to fold in, as the orcs rumbled to the center of the Company. What is he doing?, thought Sjorging, he's letting them pour into the center. Then Sjorging noticed it, he figured it out, Uther was planning to outflank the large mob of orcs and completely surround them.

The orcs were in a frenzy, running around senselessy, despite the screams of their leader. "Make for their weak spot, our only hope is escape!" roared Grokgash.

A rather large orc, close to the size of Grokgash, approached him with his short dagger unsheathed. He was definately some sort of commanding officer amongst the orc party, "You promised us man-flesh! Look what you've led us into! You fool!" The Sergeant hacked at Grokgash, but Grokgash turned the blade away with his own, and stuck a knife in his gut. The Orc fell to the ground and Grokgash spit upon his dying body. "Listen to me you scum! If you want to get out of here, follow me!" Some orcs still followed behind Grokgash, but most of them were running about wildly, or too busy in combat.

A small group of orcs, maybe around eight or nine of them, made their way to the men of Dale hoping they could break through. Sjorging quickly beheaded the largest orc, and two more orcs fell to the ground with arrows in them. An orc slashed his scimitar at Gelding, but Gelding blocked it with his shield, and thrusted his sword into the heart of the orc. "For Uther!" The Gondorians could be heard shouting, "For Elessar!" Sjorging, being the stubborn man he is began rivaling the shouts with "For Brand! For Dale!" Gelding joined with his friend, Sjorging in the shouts, followed by Beluf, who was currently in a deadlock with another orc. But, Beluf drew his hand axe from his side, and jammed the axe into the side of the orc. The Orc gave a wail and fell to the ground, Beluf took his sword, and like a great spear, stuck it through the heart. The men began to cheer, the fighting had ceased, the few orcs who tried to make it out, were cut down quickly.
